Having just heard the example of this on The Maccabees' Myspace page, I have a slightly different view: Namely that the occurance of what must surely be the most trad, boring, lazy drum beat ever formulated, the drum beat every drum student learns first; signifies that the track you're about to listen to will be mad rubbish. And not just rubbish, but rubbish that you will have heard done before and better.

I though to myself
"hey, theres a great spoken word clip of saul williams where he actually says "snare snare, kick snare. Kick kick-kick snare" in a poem. I think ill look it out and post it on dis".
So I searched it on google video and as soon as I found the link, guess what came on itunes shuffle?
The exact audio rip from that spoken word performance.
